How to assemble the Mouthpiece, Reed & Neck.
If you learn this important step correctly, you're going to have a much easier time producing a good sound.

ALTO SAX (1e)
Assembly of the Mouthpiece, Reed & Neck II
Because this step of the instrument assembly is SO important, I'm ask students to watch this video. The teacher reviews the concepts above and really helps students feel comfortable with this concept.
